GeAeFAl Review,


Weather conditions during June
have been strikingly similar over the
entire cotton belt. This Is not usual,
and has not ct all events occurred dur
Ing the last three years. The temper.
ature has been favorable to the growth
OF the plant, the rsinfall just about
sufficient to stimulate a healthy
growth and permit Of thorough cult.

have OF course overcome most Of the
bsckw ardnes Of the plants, where
such was the case owing to rstarding
causes In the spring, and at the close
OF the month the growth Of the weed

lent start ioI fruitage. Forming and
blooming are reported as progressing
unusually we'll, there being no com.
plants on this ecors from any portion
OF the belt.
The field work done in this crop has
been exceptionally efficient, the dry
weather adording ample opportunity,
and the few sections reporting grass at
close Of May have been pretty well
cleaned.
The month OF June, therefore,
closed upon clean fields, a very good
Stand. q healthy and, one might say, a
vigorous plant that had begun the
process OF fruitipg In a most satisfac.
tory manner. Nowhere could the
situation be called critical, though sp.
prehensions were expressed OF the
effects OF abnormal rainfall in July
upon the fruit.
Insect ravsges have been felt to
some extent eat OF the Mississippi
river, where the cool nights for time
frstered lice, but their stay wa moi
protrscted, and the damage inflicted
has not been very serious. There ha,
been no loss t. sp ak Of from this
cause west OF The mississippi. Worms
have appeared In a few places, bu,
have amounted to nothing thus far.
Summing mp the situation, then, II
may be said that the conditions Of
June have been even superior 10 those
